Cooke formerly of Utopia NB occurred at the Saint John Regional
Hospital, Saint John NB on October 10, 2019. Born in Carleton County
NB on September 9, 1921, she was a daughter of the late Roy and
Florence (MacDonald) Stoddard. A loving mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother and sister, Ruby is survived by her children: Davis
(Juanita) Cooke of Utopia NB, Ken (Robbin) Goss of Massachusetts,
Sterling (Marilyn) Cooke of Utopia NB, Phyllis (Carl) MacLean of

Ruby spent most of her life in service to her family. A homemaker by
trade, she tended to not only her children but those they brought home
with them. She was always cooking and baking and made sure everyone
who came through her door felt loved and welcomed. In her quiet time
she enjoyed being in the garden tending to her flowers. Her love and
warm heart will be sadly missed by her loving family and many friends.
